New hair style

A new hair style is one way a woman can redefine herself, watching locks of the past fall away, and welcoming a refreshing future. Going long, cutting short, bangs, bobs, fades, so many options to walk out of a salon with a new attitude, new confidence, and new attraction.

Attraction leads me to dress, dressing leads to distraction.  Sometimes, though, distraction pleasantly leads me to not dress for weeks.  Musing challenges whether this is really just a long phase of inevitably stopping.

Beauty surrounding me, can make me feel beautiful, just as much as wearing beauty.  My collection of dresses and shoes feel like they don't need to be there, but there is some familiarity, some history of keeping them.  If only a new hair style could do all this for me.

Fashion invasion

Balancing in heels is a lot easier than finding a balance with dressing and life.  It seems unfair that only one gender gets approved to wear sexy shoes that exposes feet, increases height, adds an alluring gait.  They're just shoes after all, right.  At least that's what I try to believe.

Embellishing with makeup and nail polish unfairly lets some perfect their look, and forces guys to have realistic looks, with no way to iron out wrinkles, or cover up cracked nails, or fix skin blemishes.  Wearing guy makeup and nail polish is slowly becoming accepted, if you declare being metro.

Showing off skin, bare chests, slender arms, smooth midriffs only works when wearing fashions that are stereotypically admit being flamboyantly gay.  Why not uncover and show that we too aren't perfect.  Body hair can be made to look attractive with the fashionable cuts and fabric.

Accessorizing with scarves, jewelry, piercings, and taboo colors seems more normal for the next generation where guys in skinny jeans and tight shirts stream football games.  If only to have been born a decade later.
